Bridget has a bag of skittles that is 3/4 full. If she eats 2/5 of the remaining skittles, how much of the bag did she eat?

Respuesta :

Bridget eats [tex]\frac{x}{10}[/tex] of the Skittles

Explanation:

Let the number of skittles = x

If the bag has [tex]\frac{3}{4}x[/tex] of the skittles

Then the skittles remaining = [tex]x - \frac{3}{4}x[/tex]

                                              =  [tex]\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

Amount that Bridget eats = [tex]\frac{2}{5} X \frac{x}{4}[/tex]

                                          = [tex]\frac{x}{10}[/tex]

Therefore, Bridget eats [tex]\frac{x}{10}[/tex] of the Skittles
